Radiesse was a horrible experience for me. I went in for Juvederm and was talked into Radiesse by a "nurse" at a local "un-caring" Medspa.
I am 46 yrs old woman and wanted to soften the look of wrinkles forming in facial dimples (they used to be cute):)
48 hrs after the injection (while on a business trip) I started developing a HUGE rash and serious swelling, along w/difficulty breathing. When I arrived home 2 days later I went straight to a local Emergency Quick Care Center.
I was told that this was an allergic reaction to RADIESSE. I was prescribed steroids "60 ct", allergy meds and an epi pin in case I stopped breathing. The doctor told me that because this stuff is injected he could not promise that this reaction would not return.
It has been one month, the benefits I can't see at all (I had 1 syringe) the medspa threw me out on my heels when I asked for a refund (of course) and my skin is dry and flaky. ALL IN ALL A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

Thank you so much for posting your experience. It is our egos that get us into these situations. I have been having fillers for six years and they have suddenly turned on me, splitting, lumpy and moving. It is scary. I have paid thousands of pounds to be in this insecure state. Reading you post has reminded me that there is only a spiritual solution to the dis- ease with myself . I need to stop obsessing about the outside and work on the inside. I am so sorry that you have had to deal with this constant pain. There are a lot of people out there making money selling dreams that can turn into nightmares. Best wishes to you and thank you.
Please go see a boarded dermatologist ASAP to receive proper treatment. This is an example of non doctors treating patients without proper history and physical examinations. The good news is Radiesse will wear out in time, maybe 5 to 8 months. Especially if you had only 1 syringe. Regards from MIAMI
